POKEMON POWERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== FRENZY (Dark Primeape - Team Rocket Expansion)
Q. If a Rocket's Snorlax/Dark Primeape is Asleep/Confused (respectively), then gets poisoned, does its power still work?
A. Of course. If a Pokemon Power says it is shut off if it is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed, then you also add Poisoned. If it does NOT say any of that, then Poisoning doesn't shut its power off either. (Jan 24, 2002 WotC Chat, Q15)
== LEGENDARY BODY (Entei, Raikou, & Suicune - Neo: Revelation Expansion)
Q. What is the correct way to handle a Pokemon with Sabrina's ESP attached vs. an opposing Pokemon with the Legendary Body power? Would the Sabrina's ESP coinflip portion work or not?
A. The same as you would normally handle it. The Sabrina's ESP is only affecting the Pokemon's attack that it is attached to. The coinflip portion works as normal. (Jan 24, 2002 WotC Chat, Q43)
== REBELLION (Misty's Gyarados - Gym: Challenge Expansion)
Q. RE: Misty's Gyarados and new poison rule [Ed.Note: the 1/17/02 rule about Poison shutting off most Pokemon Powers]. I would suspect that poison and confusion would be equal, since you can't attack when asleep or paralyzed. Comments?
A. Read the actual card, it's power is NOT shut off. (Jan 24, 2002 WotC Chat, Q143)
== RESTLESS SLEEP (Rocket's Snorlax - Gym: Heroes Expansion)
Q. If a Rocket's Snorlax/Dark Primeape is Asleep/Confused (respectively), then gets poisoned, does its power still work?
A. Of course. If a Pokemon Power says it is shut off if it is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed, then you also add Poisoned. If it does NOT say any of that, then Poisoning doesn't shut its power off either. (Jan 24, 2002 WotC Chat, Q15)
== RETREAT AID (Dodrio - Jungle Expansion)
Q. If your Ditto is copying a Clefable, and your opponent has a pair of Dodrios benched, can Ditto retreat for free? In other words, does Dodrio decrease the Retreat Cost on the card?
A. No, Dodrio says: When this is on your bench you pay one less to retreat. It doesn't actually reduce the retreat cost on Clefable. (Jan 24, 2002 WotC Chat, Q98)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== GENETIC MEMORY (Kingdra - Neo: Revelation Expansion)
Q. If Neo3 Kingdra uses Genetic Memory to copy Fossil Seadra's Water Gun attack, how does that work as far as adding damage to the attack? (i.e., do you subtract out the Genetic Memory cost before determining whether you have enough energy to use the other attack?)
A. Just as it states on the card. If you use one Water to pay for Genetic Memory and you have 3 other Water Energy attached to Kingdra, you will add 20 damage (because that is where it maxes out at) to the Water Gun attack. The 1 water is paying the Genetic Memory's attack cost which is taking the place of the Water Gun's attack cost. That 1 water would NOT count as an extra. (Jan 24, 2002 WotC Chat, Q26 & Q85)

== SABRINA'S ESP (Gym: Heroes Expansion)
Q. What is the correct way to handle a Pokemon with Sabrina's ESP attached vs. an opposing Pokemon with the Legendary Body power? Would the Sabrina's ESP coinflip portion work or not?
A. The same as you would normally handle it. The Sabrina's ESP is only affecting the Pokemon's attack that it is attached to. The coinflip portion works as normal. (Jan 24, 2002 WotC Chat, Q43)
